About this size

X accepts a range of aspect ratios but renders landscape at 16:9 in the timeline view. 1200 by 675 is the resolution the platform is calibrated to: large enough to look crisp on a desktop preview, small enough to ship without being re-compressed on upload. Square and portrait images both work on X, but the timeline frames them smaller.

Pro tips

1 Landscape gets the cleanest in-feed presentation. Square and portrait both work but the timeline reserves less screen for them.
2 Type wants to be larger than Instagram. The X feed scrolls faster, and small body copy disappears before the reader registers the post.
3 Skip baked-in platform chrome. The "Tweet" framing, the bird logo, the timestamp; all of those date the post and most of them get re-rendered anyway.
